Kevin Garnett is known for visibly despising his opponents, for screaming and elbowing and berating anyone who isn't on his team. He takes loyalty very seriously and considers his teammates brothers.

Ray Allen, after leaving for the Miami Heat, is no longer Garnett's brother. Actually, Garnett doesn't even have Allen's number anymore, even though the two spent five seasons together and helped each other win their first (and only, so far) NBA championship.
